Introduction: Universal health coverage will be guaranteed to all individuals, safeguarding the rights of traditional communities, as in the quilombola population, respecting the dimensions of interculturality, gender and ethnicity. Objective: The aim of this study is to describe the conceptions of health and health care practices of Afro-Brazilian men from a quilombola community. Methods: This was a qualitative descriptive study conducted with Afro-Brazilian men from a quilombola community in Bahia, Brazil, where there is a significant concentration of black people and quilombola communities. Results: This group’s conceptions of health are based on the combination of the individual body with the body that is socially and culturally situated in the community. Health care practices are anchored in cultural knowledge and strengthened by the bonds with nature, friends and religious leaders. Conclusion: The black men from quilombola communities are in a state of vulnerability due to the lack of access to health services.
O objetivo do estudo foi descrever e analisar as características sociodemográficas e as doenças dos capítulos do CID-10 que causaram os óbitos infantis, calcular a taxa de mortalidade infantil e sua tendência temporal e do capítulo em que ocorreu o maior número desses óbitos na 7ª Região de Saúde do Estado do Ceará, no período de 2009 a 2019. Foi realizado estudo descritivo, ecológico, de série temporal. Os dados revelaram a predominância do sexo masculino com 60,51% dos óbitos; 62,56% da raça/cor parda; 55,38% de baixo peso; 64% dos óbitos aconteceram em idade neonatal precoce e 60% foram óbitos por doenças pertencentes ao Capítulo XVI do CID-10. A taxa média de mortalidade infantil dos anos estudados se mostrou inferior à do Ceará, 11,70 e 13,02 por mil habitantes, respectivamente. Muitos desses óbitos poderiam ser evitados nessa região a partir da consolidação e do fortalecimento das linhas de cuidado materno-infantil.
Introduction: The provision of primary care to men by nurses has been relevant, but there are challenges to be overcome. Objective: To analyze the challenges faced by Brazilian nurses in the provision of primary care to men. Methods: This was a qualitative descriptive study carried out by including 40 nurses working in the Family Health Strategy of a Basic Health Unit in Northeastern Brazil. Individual in-depth interviews were carried out and analyzed using the Discourse of the Collective Subject (CSD) method, supported by the Praxis Intervention Theory for Nursing in Collective Health – Tipesc. Results: The challenges faced by nurses in the provision of care to men originate in the academy and are transposed into professional practice, manifesting as limitations in the work process, lack of a specific health agenda, difficulties in raising male adherence, and professional demotivation. Conclusion: These challenges significantly affect the development and promotion of men’s health, resulting in the maintenance of the indicators of male morbidity and mortality in Brazil.
